Subject:Guess who's back?
----Elijah----
I paced fast keeping up with Ezekial. My hood was up and my feet painted the picture around me. My cat followed closely behind. An outcome was about to come from beside one of the buildings. I threw a ninja star at it and caught it back in my hand all in an instant like it was nothing. “So you’re telling me Akemi built all your guys’ techno stuff?” I asked surprised. Last time I hung out with Akemi he was dumber than a rail. Ezekial laughed and then nodded.
“Yeah, radiation really brought out the inner Asian in him.” He replied smiling at me. I laughed. Ezekial was still funny just like he used to be. Still could make me laugh. It had been awhile since I laughed, or even smiled. I couldn’t even remember the last time I did any of those things. This would be nice. I threw another star at an outcome barreling at us from behind in silence, then catching it in my palm as it flew back to me.
“Wow, your really good. So you’re pretty chill about the whole zombie thing?” Ezekial asked with a smirk.
“Yeah, I’m used to it.” I shrugged. Ezekial smiled at me then turned back facing forward. I saw the huge steel walls surrounding what was said to be there house. Ezekial looked around and then typed in a code of the top of the rusted manhole cover. A click sound came from it than I bent down and heaved it open and hopped in.
“Ladies first?” Ezekial murmured. I laughed.
“Well that is the rule, isn’t it?” I replied with a smirk leading the way. I already knew where the opening was. My feet had already mapped out the whole tunnel system for me.
“Well, I wouldn’t necessarily call you a lady, Elijah.” Ezekial teased. I laughed and shrugged.
“So true.” I replied. I stood beside as I beckoned for Ezekial to type in the code again to open the manhole covering that lead to his home.
“How do you know this is the right one? Maybe it leads to an opening for a hazardous zoo.” Ezekial asked.
“It’s the right one Ezekial.” I replied.
“How do you know?” Ezekial pressed. I laughed.
“Because I know everything, duh.” I said with a smile. I was tired of sitting there so I reached up to the code pad and typed it in myself. I had already memorized the code from the first time I watched Ezekial type it in. Ezekial had his mouth open.
“Told ya’.” I said with a smirk jumping into his house. I saw Akemi first and then saw Griffin on the couch. At first I was shocked with his scarlet red hair and his bright blue eyes but then I realized it was because we both had light hair and eyes so they were affected by the radiation. “Hey guys!” I exclaimed waving with a smirk. They both gaped there mouths open at the same time.
“Elijah?”Griffinasked confused.
“Hey Griff’ we’re still twins!” I exclaimed skipping over and accepting his hug. He laughed and agreed. Akemi huffed a breath to make me feel bad for not hugging him so I ran over and gave him the hugest hug ever. “Akemi!” I exclaimed.
“Elijah!” He exclaimed in his adorable Asian accent. “It been long time!” He exclaimed with a huge smile.
“True dat.” I replied. Akemi turned around and started shaking his butt all up in my grill. I laughed and pretended to spank him from behind. We all cracked up laughing. Gosh I had almost forgotten what this was like, just having fun with my friends. Even when all this bad stuff was going on I was so relieved they were still out here. I couldn’t believe I had found them. Once I reached California I went to the city, decided to turn the corner and there he was. Still tall, tan, and handsome. It reminded me of the time I went to Six Flags with a guy named Chase I used to know, and when he went to go eat lunch with our class mates I turned the corner and there Ezekial was; just standing there as if I was meant to find him. I laughed in my mind. Look at me, over thinking like an idiot again. I smiled and plopped down on there red plush couch. There house was nice. The kitchen had long granite counter tops, upper and lower pure white cabinets, stainless steel all you could want appliances, two islands, a pan rack from the ceiling, a bar, a expensive oak dining table, and a large sink with the stretchy faucets. There living room had a flat movie theater screen, a long L-shaped red plush couch with a matching sofa, loveseat, and modern chair that looked like it was from the future. There was a spiral stair case which led upstairs to Ezekial and Akemi’s rooms, which were huge and well furnished, and on the top floor were Griffin’s room and a roof top garden. The house had a basement too which included a game room, which was probably a spare bedroom once, but now included a flat screened identical to the one upstairs. There were games aligned on bookshelves that Akemi had probably rigged from the nearest game stores and of course Minecraft was in the Xbox. I always hated that dumb game.
I knew what the whole house looked like already without walking through it. Gosh, I swear I have the coolest powers ever. “So where’d you find her? The strip club? Just kidding, just kidding.”Griffin joked.Griffin was always making perverted jokes. I laughed.
“Hey, how’d you know?” I played along. Everyone laughed.
“Oh! Can I come?” Akemi continued with a smile.
“Sure.” I replied laughing. Ezekial laughed and then answeredGriffin’s first question.
“She was hanging around the city.” He replied obviously avoiding the fact that I saved his life.
“I saved his life because this dumbass forgot to bring extra ammo in his gun. He’d be dead right now if I hadn’t of been there.” I said tilting my head smiling. Akemi andGriffincracked up and Ezekial sighed.
“Yes but I didn’t want them to know that, Elijah.” He murmured. I laughed and patted his shoulder.
“It’s fine.” I replied.
“Ezekial you’re stupid.”Griffin replied cracking up. Ezekial squinted at Griffin and walked up stairs to his room singing,
“Griffin is such an idiot who needs to be hit by a bus!” Ezekial exclaimed.
Akemi and I laughed and I walked to the bathroom. I wanted to look good here. I mean I really didn’t have to since I was the only girl here and they’re all teenage boys, but still. I looked in the mirror. My hair was wavy and poufy from the humidity but it actually looked good. I needed a shower though so I opened the door and announced I was taking a shower so everyone knew where I was at.
“Hold on be there in a sec!”Griffin teased.
“If anyone would be; it would be me.” Ezekial replied winking at me. I rolled my eyes and laughed closing the door.Griffin ran at the door screaming, “Baby come back!” I laughed and turned on the shower.
“Get away from the door Griffin.” Ezekial scolded. I stripped down and got in the shower. Yeah, the water probably wasn’t the best for me but I already had powers and red hair so what could happen? Being clean felt awesome. I got out and threw on some blue skinny jeans a black belt, and a black tank top. I blow dried my hair making it be all fluffy and wavy like usual. I walked out and Akemi was sitting my door like a weirdo. I gave him a weird look. “Where’s my cat?” I asked avoiding the obvious question, like, “Why are you sitting outside the door while I’m taking a shower?”
“Down stairs!” Akemi said pointing in the direction of the stairs. I walked downstairs and picked up Maple and walked back up. I was so tired and it was only four pm. I had been up for over 24 hours since I abandoned my New Mexico casa and walked all the way to Cali. I walked over to Ezekial’s room. He was playing DS on his huge bed.
“Ay.” I said dropping my cat on his bed.
“Hey girl!” He exclaimed closing his DS.
“Where exactly am I sleeping?” I asked trying to stifle a yawn. Ezekial sat up and looked around confused.
“Uhh…” He started.
“She can sleep in my room!” Akemi exclaimed ease dropping on our conversation from Ezekial’s closet. How did he even get in there? He was just in the hall.
“Akemi! Get out! Why must you be so ninja like?” Ezekial exclaimed throwing a nearby book at him.
“Ew books!” Akemi squealed really high pitched and ran out. I laughed.Griffin walked in with class and gave me his sexy face. It was really sexy.
“Hey baby.” He said with a wink.
“Hey sexy.” I replied with a smirk.
“Take it outside.” Ezekial groaned. I laughed.
“You can sleep in my room.” Griffin offered, still with his sexy face on. I shrugged showing that, that was cool with me.
“No, you’d rape her in her sleep. She’s obviously sleeping in here since I have the biggest room!” Ezekial protested. I stood there awkwardly.
“It’s not rape if she likes it.” Griffin sleazily said staring at me. I smirked at him and laughed. “Plus, you just want her sleeping in here because you know she likes me more.” Griffin pushed just to make Ezekial mad. Me andGriffin had no feelings for each other, we just liked flirting with each other, but Griffin always liked making Ezekial mad so he always said stupid dump like that.
“Psh, whatever.” I replied turning down Griffin. Griffin put his hand to his chest pretending he was hurt and then laughed walking out. “Well, uhm, I wanted to take a nap.” I awkwardly said looking around.
“Okay.” He said. I stood there for a moment. “Go ahead.” He encouraged scooting over. I stood there for another moment then plopped down on his bed. I knew he didn’t mind me sleeping in my shoes, and if he did he didn’t show any sign of it. I threw his comforter over me and laid down on his pillow. I could feel him staring at me even though my eyes were closed, but it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep.
